Flicking pass the National Review’s Rich Lowrey on PBS’s Jim Lehrer, I watched him explain the Republican view of the Terri Schiavo fiasco. This will be forgotten by November of 2006 so there aren’t any political repurcussions (a godspeed for the Republican Party, I… guess…), but in the meantime obviously… judges out of control, and this will strengthen and harden the position of the “Nuclear Option” (the one which will destroy the ability of Democrats to act like Jimmy Stewart?).
I couldn’t quite tell if he believed his own words, which is to say politicos of the pundit variety often say things for the sole purpose of making them the truth… its not the bias that shows, which is what you’d want from a political bias, but the motive and agenda that’s being focused on. Rich Lowrey’s body language was just a little bit… off, and he blinked a little bit too often.
In the meantime, I’m trying to figure out the veracity of this story. A quick google search through their news archives, and I end up with a story from Australia that She may have been Bulimic!… which only goes to show how a foreign press is slow on various details of a national (unfortunately) story.
You do know Tom DeLay’s latest apocalyptic words on the matter?
This loss happened because our legal system did not protect the people who need protection most, and that will change. The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior, but not today.
“Answering for the Behavior” meaning… what, exactly? Dunno. A weird Political Jihad, which probably can only take place with enough of a concerted political propaganda push? Torment in Hell after the ever-loving God decides that they don’t quite measure up? Something like this carried out by a sort of individual who’s may be attracted (not all of them, mind ye) to something like this? Dun…no.
